Introduction

1.2 Overview of the multiservice access platform R8B

1.2.1 The UMUX platform

The UMUX platform offers a range of compact, flexible, migration capable and managed systems,
offering unequalled multi-service & multi-transmission capability.
The services supported by UMUX range from traditional telephony, broadband Internet access and
private circuits to new services such as broadband Ethernet Private Lines / LANs, Triple Play and
Voice over Packet.
The UMUX Multiservice Access Platform is composed of the following components:
• Network elements (with units)
• Desktops (remote units)
• Management Systems

1.2.2 Network elements and units

UMUX is available in 3 subrack versions, UMUX 1500, UMUX 1200 and UMUX 900. Each version
is particularly suited for a range of applications and the corresponding installation requirements
while the system features remain the same. Each subrack uses the same units (release of the unit
for the UMUX type provided).

1.2.3 Traffic services and interfaces

The UMUX/ UCST R8B platform with Service Pack 02 supports traffic types as follows:
• PDH traffic
The UMUX can multiplex and cross connect both P0-nc and P12x traffic. The cross connect ca-
pacity is in total 128 x 2 Mbit/s (for signals with and without signalling) for the UMUX 1500. The
practically used capacity with the UMUX 1200 and especially the UMUX 900 is well below this
capacity because of the reduced number of slots available for traffic units in the UMUX 1200
and UMUX 900 subracks.
The cross-connect handles structured and unstructured P12 traffic signals for transparent cross
connecting. Structured P12s signals with or without signalling are either switched transparently
or de-multiplexed and switched as P0-nc traffic signals.

Page 5 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Introduction

Various traffic units allow the UMUX to connect a big variety of traffic signal types from PSTN,
ISDN-BA and standard data services up to V5 and IP services (IP over PDH).
• SDH traffic
The UMUX provides STM-4 and STM-1 interfaces which allow you to groom E12/P12, E31/32
and IP (Ethernet) tributary traffic for SDH transmission. The UMUX provides electrical STM-1
and optical STM-4/1 interfaces for the aggregate traffic. It is possible to directly connect VC-12
and VC-3 traffic between 2 STM-1 aggregate interfaces and up to VC-4 traffic between the
STM-4 interfaces.
The units with STM-4 and STM-1 aggregate interfaces provide the SETS timing function for the
UMUX.
To cope with the tributary traffic, the UMUX provides units with P12 or E12 interfaces for inter-
nal and external tributaries and an E31/32 interface for external tributaries. A further unit with an
optical STM-1 tributary interface handles high volume tributary traffic for the STM-1 aggregate
interfaces.
• IP traffic
The UMUX provides various units and desktop units with local and remote Ethernet interfaces.
Traffic units with bridging and routing capabilities are available for the processing of IP traffic
between remote interfaces (desktops) and the internal PDH traffic structures.
The processing of IP traffic not only includes routing and bridging but allows for Ethernet over
SDH applications (VLAN) and includes Voice over IP for Access Gateway applications with
NGN.
• ATM traffic
With the ABUS traffic units, it is possible to implement an ATM core for various services in the
UMUX. The UMUX supports ATM as follows:
− ATM layer (according to ATM Forum AF-TM-0121.000, Traffic Management Specification,
Version 4.1)
– Permanent virtual connections (PVCs) only, up to 2048 connections per NE
– Point to point, bi-directional, asymmetric VCCs and VPCs
– UNI cell format
– Service categories supported: CBR, VBR-rt, VBR-nrt and UBR
– Conformance definitions: CBR.1, VBR.1 and UBR.1
– Ingress traffic control functions: Usage parameter control (UPC),
Connection admission control (CAC)
− Egress traffic control functions: VP shaping (STM-1 UNI), CAC

Introduction

− ATM cross connect


– Switching capacity 515'160 kbit/s (1'215'000 cells/s)
– Up to 2048 connections per network element
– Accessible by up to 8 units (slots), depending on type of subrack
− Although the cross connect fabric allows connections to be set up from any port to any
port or service, the UMUX has still to be considered as an ATM multiplexer or concentra-
tor with a maximum aggregate bandwidth according to STM1 towards the regional ATM
network.
– ECC over ATM
– QoS: CBR (CBR.1)
– PCR: 80.1 kbit/s, 240.4 kbit/s and 720.4 kbit/s
– CDVT: 5000 µs
− «PPP over AAL5», encapsulation method «VC-multiplexed PPP» according to
RFC 2364.
− ATM UNI (User-to-Network Interface) physical
− STM-1 optical interface for the transmission of ATM cells (in VC-4) in the ATM network
(ATM-UNI).
The STM-1 (ATM) interface supports
- 149760 kbit/s corresponding to 353207 cells/s.
- Multiplex Section protection
− IMA (Inverse Multiplexing of ATM) for the transmission of ATM cells via a set of P12s
(P0-nc) TDM links.
An IMA group supports from 2 up to 16 links, each link with a bandwidth of 1920 kbit/s
(4528 cells/s).
− ADSL and SHDSL modem interfaces for the transmission of ATM cells and the access to
remote CPE (IAD) with PSTN and ISDN-BA user ports.
- The ADSL interface supports transmission rates as follows
- Upstream: 32 kbit/s … 1024 kbit/s
- Downstream: 32 kbit/s … 8064 kbit/s

- The SHDSL interface supports transmission rates (up-/downstream) as follows


- 1 pair: 200 kbit/s … 2320 kbit/s
- Pair bonding (2 pairs): 400 kbit/s … 4640 kbit/s
The UMUX supports the configuration of the ADSL and SHDSL interfaces with profiles.
− ATM Services
− Circuit Emulation Service: CES 2048 kbit/s (AAL1)
CES supports the emulation of P12 TDM circuits which are transmitted via an ATM UNI

Page 7 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Introduction

in the ATM network. CES includes various synchronisation modes depending on the con-
nection modes on the PBUS
- Adaptive or SRTS for transparent or monitored P12 cross connection
- Synchronous, SRTS or adaptive for terminated or clock master P12 cross
connection modes
The UMUX builds its ATM core with dedicated ATM traffic units around the ABUS. The ABUS is
physically identical with the SBUS. However, the traffic signal structure of the ABUS uses cells
instead of the SDH frames on the SBUS. The ABUS transports the cells from one connection
point to another connection point.
The transport rate of the ABUS for ATM cells is 1215 kcells/s. This is equivalent to a bit rate of
515160 kbit/s (53 bytes per cell).
Depending on the implemented units, the ATM core uses SETS or PETS for system and unit
timing purposes.
• V5.x services
The V5.x options of the UMUX allow you resolve the V5.1 and V5.2 protocol in the UMUX
1500/1200 and to connect local and remote PSTN and ISDN-BA user ports in the UMUX net-
work. The UMUX supports user port access via PDH.
The UCST provides custom parameter sets which allow fast installation and uniform commis-
sioning of new V5 units in the UMUX network. The custom parameter set defines parameters
for the V5.x protocol implementation as well as traffic related parameters.
• NGN services
Telephony NGN (New Generation Network) provides telephony services to legacy terminals
such as analogue and ISDN phones that are not NGN capable. With telephony NGN, the tele-
communication network has distributed switching functionality which is separated from the con-
trol mechanism. The UMUX provides the Access Gateway functionality for telephony NGNs.
The UMUX and its units support functions for NGN as follows:
− Processing of the user port signalling and circuit set-up/release and exchanging of corre-
sponding messages via IP traffic with its MGC (Media Gateway Controller). This includes
– Conversion of analogue telephone traffic into IP traffic (RTP) and vice versa
– POTS: H.248 / MEGACO (ITU-T, H.248.v1) for PSTN signalling conversion from/into
H.248 messages.
− POTS and ISDN BA: H.248 / MEGACO for setting up / tearing down the connection be-
tween a TDM based voice channel and an IP based channel.
− ISDN BA: Signalling gateway for the transport of D-channel frames between the Access
Gateway and the ASP (Application Server Process) using SIGTRAN (IUA/SCTP).

Introduction

− Support of Customer Parameter Sets for commissioning of soft switch interoperability


− Provisioning of POTS and ISDN-BA user ports (local and remote)
• IP DSLAM with real Broadband Triple Play services
The UMUX supports a modular IP DSLAM implementation with the IPLM1/2/4 units which have
24 ADSL/ADSL2(+) and the IPLM6 unit has 24 G:SHDSL/G.SHDSL.bis interfaces and provide
the interworking functions for the termination of the ATM layer and adaptation of the Ethernet
traffic for IP services. IPLM unit versions support ADSL over POTS (IPLM1/2) and ISDN-BA
(IPLM4). With the new IPLM units the UMUX supports triple play services as follows:
− Broadband internet access
− (TV) Multicasting and video on demand
− Voice over IP
− Access:
– ADSL/ADSL2(+) loop access to the residential gateway (CPE)
– G.SHDSL/G.SHDSL.bis loop access to the residential gateway (CPE)
− Gbit-Ethernet uplink for the access to the service provider
It is possible to cascade several units for the implementation of IP DSLAMS with n x 24 ADSL /
ADSL2(+) or G.SHDSL / G.SHDSL.bis interfaces with a common uplink. The UCST supports
the management of the basic unit functions and management access of the DSLAM unit. A
dedicated CLI – also launched via UCST - allows for the configuration of the DSLAM parame-
ters and the DSLAM fault management.
The high density of the IP DSLAM interfaces on the units and the corresponding power dissipa-
tion require imperatively forced ventilation for the UMUX subrack.

1.2.4 Remote units and services

The UMUX Multiservice Access Platform includes a set of desktop units for the remote installation
(customer premises) which allow the deployment of remote traffic interfaces and services. The re-
mote units have electrical (xDSL) interfaces for the data transmission with the UMUX NEs. Some
of the desktop units operate in standalone applications as well.
The desktop units (xDSL transmission) provide remote interfaces for
• PDH traffic with various interfaces (G.703, V<xx> , X<xx> interface series)
• Ethernet traffic
Desktop units with Ethernet traffic interfaces include additional traffic functions for IP traffic
processing (e.g. bridging, routing).

Page 9 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Introduction

• PSTN and ISDN interfaces


Desktop units with PSTN and ISDN interfaces can provide user ports for V5 and NGN applica-
tions.
A desktop unit for optical 8 Mbit/s transmission with 4 x 2 Mbit/s G.703 or V.11 traffic interfaces
completes the remotes units of the UMUX multiservice platform.
Remote units connected to the UMUX are fully managed by the UMUX management system.

1.2.5 Management tools and interfaces

1.2.5.1 Management software

The UMUX Multiservice Access Platform has two management toots:


• UCST
The UCST is recommended for the management of single UMUXs or small UMUX networks.
The UCST runs on an ordinary PC/notebooks under Windows® operating systems as specified
in the paragraph «PC / OS requirements» on page 80.
• UNEM
The UNEM is comprehensive management software managing network elements and net-
works. It is suited for medium to large sized UMUX networks. The UNEM has a modular archi-
tecture which allows distributed and scalable installations. Operation control and NE access
have multi-session capabilities, while the UNEM core manages one central database and all the
north bound interfaces.
The UNEM runs on PCs with Linux (Red Hat Enterprise) and HP workstations with UNIX (HP-
UX 11i) operating systems as specified in the applicable UNEM release note.

1.2.5.2 Management interfaces

The UMUX features local interfaces for NE management and the ECC (Embedded Communication
Channel) functionality for remote management with the UCST and UNEM:
The ECC is a high performance in-band channel, which allows the implementation of versatile in-
band MCN (Management Communication Networks) for the management of the UMUX 1500,
UMUX 1200 and UMUX 900 networks. The ECC functionality includes OSPF routing for the UMUX
management traffic in the NEs and the transport of the ECC over SDH (OSI tunnelling) and ATM
(ECC over ATM) networks.
The UMUX supports interfaces for management communication as follows

Page 10 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Introduction

• External management interfaces for local NE access


− The QX-interface is an Ethernet interface (10BaseT) for management access via LANs.
− The F-interface is a serial interface (RS 232) and is functionally compatible to the corre-
sponding interface of the legacy UMUX 1100(E) and UMUX 1300.
− The Q1-interfaces is a serial bus interface (RS 485)
All the UMUX support the Q1-(slave) interface which is functionally compatible to the corre-
sponding interface of the legacy UMUX 1100(E) and UMUX 1300.
The UMUX 1500 and UMUX 1200 provide the Q1-master interfaces which allows you to sub-
tend legacy UMUX for NE management via the Q-bus. The Q1-master interface provides a
remote replication of the UCST / UNEM Q-bus access via the ECC DCN.
• Internal management interfaces
The router of the control unit supports up to 32 ECC interfaces which internally connect to
− ECC transported in standard PDH channels (normally embedded in P12 as P0-nc traffic) in
the PDH network.
− ECC transported in the SOH (Section Overhead) of the STM-1 frame in SDH networks. In
open SDH networks these ECC require encapsulation in the OSI stack which is used in SDH
networks for management communication. This functionality is implemented on the control
unit.
− ECC transported via ATM networks. This requires the encapsulation of the ECC in ATM cells.
This functionality is implemented on the units with the ATM UNI. (STM-1, IMA).
For compatibility with legacy UMUX, the UMUX 1500 and UMUX 1200 can connect via the SIFOX
unit to the EOC (Embedded Operation Channel). The EOC provides the management communica-
tion network for the legacy UMUX 1300 and UMUX 1100(E).
Because of its low throughput and the use of dedicated units, the EOC is not suited for the man-
agement communication of the current UMUX systems.

1.2.6 Signal layers

The UCST uses unified names for traffic signal layers according to the ETSI nomenclature (if ap-
plicable). The UCST and UNEM use the same terms for the same things.
For details and layer names, refer to the table below:

2 New content

2.1 Functionality

This paragraph describes the new functionality of the UMUX and UMUX units.
For details of hardware, ESW and a short list of features please refer to chapter 4: «Summary of units».

2.1.1 R8B SP01

SYN4E
The platform R8B introduces the new SYN4E function unit, which is released with the R8B
SP01 for general deployment.
The SYN4E 610 unit provides 2 STM-4/1 and 2 STM-1 SFP based interfaces. The STM-1 inter-
faces support SPF modules with optical or electrical STM-1 interfaces. The STM-4 interfaces
support SFP modules for optical transmission. A local cross connect allows for the cross con-
nection of VC-12, VC-3 and VC-4 traffic between the local STM-x interfaces. For the traffic ac-
cess to other traffic units in the UMUX subrack the SYN4E.provides also access to the SBUS
and to the PBUS for locally terminated SDH traffic. The SYN4E unit implements also the SETS
function for the NE.
Beside the SDH interfaces, SYN4E offers also four electrical 10/100/1000BASE-T interfaces.
The SYN4E handles the encapsulation of the tributary Ethernet traffic into the SDH signals (VC-
12, VC-3 and VC-4).
Please note that the operation of the SYN4E requires a COBU<X> with R5 ESW (≥R5H).

2.1.2 R8B SP02

2.1.2.1 NEMSG

The platform R8B with the Service Pack 02 introduces the new NEMSG function unit.

Page 14 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Functions and systems © KEYMILE AG

The NEMSG unit has just like the NEMCA / NEMGE eight E&M voice and signalling interfaces. In
addition to this, the NEMSG provides conference circuits allowing the combination of voice and sig-
nalling information of up to 17 participants per conference. The NEMSG also supports P0 data
conferences.
These enhancements make the NEMSG unit even fitter to address multipoint network scenarios in
utilities and private networks. NEMSG is not only able to address new network topologies but of-
fers also an easier user interface to configure these functions. The functionalities of NEMSG in-
clude:
• 8 E&M interfaces with 2-wire or 4-wire voice interface
• 2 signalling interfaces per voice channel
• Support of the E&M signalling interface types I to V
• Support of different network topologies (point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, multipoint-to-
multipoint)
• 8 conference circuits with up to 17 participants per conference, maximum 32 participants per
NEMSG unit
• Equipment protection with slot switching
• Simulation of channel failure for debugging or decoupling of a faulty slave
• Unit reset button in GUI
• Using the new UCST wizard, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint network topologies
with «Shared Protection Ring» can be easily configured
The NEMSG is a functional replacement for the NEMCA / NEMGE units and adds with its confer-
ence features substantial new functionality to the UMUX.

2.1.2.2 NEBRE

The platform R8B with the Service Pack 02 introduces the new NEBRE function unit.
Ethernet based business services are a growing need for public and private network operators.
The UMUX module NEBRE brings wire-speed switching into the UMUX platform to address high
speed Ethernet services. The NEBRE is ideal for bandwidth intensive applications like corporate
internet access, LAN interconnections and VPNs (Virtual Private Networks). The NEBRE offers six
Ethernet interfaces to connect your customers: 4 x 10/100Base-T and 2 x SFP cages for 100Base-
FX or Gigabit Ethernet. When used in conjunction with the STM-4 unit SYN4E in the UMUX, the
NEBRE allows high flexibility in the range of Ethernet services plus the carrier grade reliability of
SDH transport.

Page 15 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Functions and systems © KEYMILE AG

The NEBRE is a functional replacement for the existing ETHUB unit of the UMUX. In addition to a
significantly superior Ethernet switching function, the NEBRE is also a managed solution under the
umbrella of the UCST/UNEM system.
Compatibility of the NEBRE
• Control units:
The NEBRE unit requires COBUX R3 at least. If equipment protection for the NEMSG shall be
implemented, both the COBUX ESW and the COBUX template must be R5 or higher.

2.1.2.3 DATA<X> R3

The platform R8B with the Service Pack 02 introduces the R3 of the DATA<X> function units which
provide substantial feature enhancements with respect to the DATA<X> R2. The new features are:
• Direct encapsulation of the DATA<X> Ethernet traffic for the transport via HDLC to DTM (with-
out PPP encapsulation)
• Point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) connectivity between stations
in linear networks with SPRING (Shared Protection Ring) topology.
The table below gives a synoptical overview of the full DATA<X> R3 feature set and the supported
data rates and interfaces respectively.

Compatibility of the DATA<X> R3


• Hardware and features:
The DATA<X> R1A and R1B hardware do not support P2MP/I with subrates. The support of
this feature requires a DATA<X> R3 hardware. All other features are fully supported with the
R1A and R1B DATA<X> hardware.
• Hardware and ESW:
The embedded DATA<X> ESW versions R1A, R2A, R2B and R3A support all the DATA<X>
hardware versions R1A (HW key x02), R1B (HW key x02) and R3A (HW key x03) with one ex-
ception:
The hardware R3A (HW key x03) and ESW R1A are not compatible.
• Control units:
The DATA<X> R3 requires COBUX ESW R5 and COBUX templates R4 at least. If equipment
protection for the DATA<X> shall be implemented, both the COBUX ESW and the COBUX tem-
plate must be R5 or higher.

3 Summary of network elements

3.1 UMUX 1500

3.1.1 Features

The UMUX 1500 subrack is for 19-inch and ETSI rack installation with DC power supply from the
battery. The UMUX 1500 has a dual power supply option for the subrack and a fan (external fan
unit) option. Forced ventilation of the UMUX subrack is mandatory for the operation of some traffic
units and for the IP DSLAM functionality.
The UMUX 1500 subrack R2 with the FANU5 fan unit (option) has a power capacity of up to 30 A
with up to 1200 Watt of power dissipation. The DUPI4 dual power supply unit (option) is mechani-
cally integrated in the UMUX 1500 subrack R2.
The UMUX 1500 can be used to interface the UMUX Access Network to a Backbone Network. This
implies the ability to
• terminate high capacity aggregate signals (STM-1 ATM, STM-4/1 SDH) down to 64 kbit/s cir-
cuits
• provide physical user service interfaces (POTS, ISDN, data leased lines, IP traffic)
• provide transmission capability to remote systems over optical fibre and copper cables (xDSL
transmission interfaces).
• support UMUX CPE for the remote connection of service interfaces including interfaces for IP
traffic.
The UMUX 1500 offers 21 standard slots for traffic, control and power units.
The figure below shows the UMUX 1500 architecture and compatible units.

Please note that the UMUX 1500 supports


• Control units
− COBUX 219/223 units (R5)
− COBUV 220/224 units (R5)

Other control units (R4 and below) do not support all traffic functions (refer to 6.3.1) and do not
allow to fully benefit from the enhanced MIB and configuration data handling provided with the
R5 control units.
• Power units (exclusively)
− POSUM 206 unit.
− POSUS 106 unit (obsolete function unit)

Power supply from mains via the POSUA power converter is not released for the UMUX 1500.
• DUPI4 dual power unit for the redundant power supply of the UMUX 1500 subrack R2. The
DUPI4 is mechanically integrated into the UMUX 1500 subrack R2 (functional supervision via
the COBU<X> interfaces for external alarms).
• FANU5 fan unit for forced subrack ventilation. The FANU5 is mechanically and functionally in-
dependent of the UMUX 1500 subrack (functional supervision via the COBU<X> interfaces for
external alarms).
• Special Units without or limited access to the UMUX internal traffic bus structures.
Among other units these are the ALCAR, ETHUB, IPLM<x>, LECAF, MAGIC, MAGI8 and
TUNOF.
• Simultaneous operation of its 2 ABUS/SBUS Sectors.
The 2 ABUS/SBUS sectors of the UMUX 1500 constitute one logical SETS system (SETS is a
NE level function). The physical SETS systems in the 2 sectors run synchronously. The SETS
system of one of the sectors is the leading Prime SETS Sector and the other sector is the
slave Agent SETS Sector. The Prime SETS Sector provides all the SETS functions and the
ESO-4 signal. The Agent SETS Sector just synchronises to the output signal of the Prime
SETG to create a synchronous signal for its sector.
It is not possible to protect the Prime SETS Sector with the Agent SETS Sector.
The sector with the first configured unit with SETS (SYN4E, SYNUF, SYNI<X>, ATIOP) be-
comes automatically the Prime SETS Sector.

3.2 UMUX 1200

3.2.1 Features

The UMUX 1200 is designed for stand alone installation while still supporting 19-inch and ETSI
rack installations. It operates from standard DC power supply and provides power supply options
for AC mains power supply with battery backup. The UMUX 1200 has a dual subrack power supply
option and fan (internal fan unit) option. Forced ventilation of the UMUX subrack is mandatory for
the operation of some traffic units and for the IP DSLAM functionality. The fan unit is imperatively
required if the UMUX 1200 is operated horizontally (rack installation).
The UMUX 1200 subrack R2 with the FANU2 R2 fan unit (option) has a power capacity of up to
10 A with up to 480 Watt of power dissipation. Please not that the power capacity with the AC pow-
ering option is restricted to 2.8 A / 140 Watt.
The UMUX 1200 can be used to interface the UMUX Access Network to a Backbone Network. This
implies the ability to
• terminate high capacity aggregate signals (STM-1 ATM, STM-4/1 SDH) down to 64 kbit/s cir-
cuits
• provide physical user service interfaces (POTS, ISDN, data leased lines, IP traffic)
• provide transmission capability to remote systems over optical fibre and copper cables (xDSL
transmission interfaces).
• support UMUX CPE for the remote connection of service interfaces including interfaces for IP
traffic.
The UMUX 1200 has a compact subrack and offers 8 standard slots for traffic, control and power
units
The figure below shows the UMUX 1200 architecture and compatible units.

3.3 UMUX 900

3.3.1 Features

The UMUX 900 is designed for the installation in slim racks while still supporting 19-inch and ETSI
rack installations. It operates from standard DC power supply only. The UMUX 900 has a dual
subrack power supply option and fan (internal fan unit) option. Forced ventilation of the UMUX
subrack is mandatory for the operation of some traffic. The fan unit is imperatively required if the
UMUX 900 is operated horizontally (rack installation).
The UMUX 900 can be used to interface dedicated services to a Backbone Network. Accordingly,
the UMUX 900 has the ability to terminate high capacity aggregate signals (STM-1 ATM, STM-4/1
SDH) down to 64 kbit/s circuits. With a subset of released traffic units it provides physical user in-
terfaces (data, data leased lines) and xDSL and optical transmission interfaces and supports
UMUX CPE for the remote connection of service interfaces including interfaces for IP traffic.
The UMUX 900 has 6 standard slots for traffic, control and power units.

(as described in the Letter of Limitations) is available.
Please note that:
• Partial inventory data means that the units only provide a part of the standard informa-
tion for inventory management.
• If the UMUX 1500 implementation of a particular function (unit) goes with functional
restrictions compared to the features quoted in the unit description, the table shows
the limitations.
• The tables include the version of the «Bootloader» software. The inventory function of
the EM can read the data (if applicable).
• New UBUS units and some of the existing UBUS units feature SW download as well.
• You can compose the name of the files with (compressed) unit software (ESW) by
composing the expressions from the columns «Name» and «Version» as follows (ex-
ample):
«Name»: ISBUQ
«Version»: R3E11
«Filename»: ISBUQ_R3.E11

5 UCST R8B

5.1 PC / OS requirements

5.1.1 General

The UCST software (32-bit versions) is released for PC/computers running Microsoft Windows®
operating systems as follows:
• Windows® 2000
• Windows® XP Professional
• Windows® Vista Enterprise (32-bit version)
• Windows® Server 2003
The above list of operating systems is definitive.
Principally, it is also possible to operate the UCST R8B SP02 under Windows® Vista
Home Basic. However, some operational restriction applies.
When starting the «Communication Manager», the check for running UCST instances
fails. Accordingly, no error is reported if there are running instances and the changes
of the RAS/Modem configuration applied via the «Communication Manager» are lost
when closing the UCST (instances).

5.1.2 Windows® 2000

If your PC/computer runs the Windows® 2000 operating system, the PC/computer meets the ba-
sic requirements (microprocessor type/speed, RAM, hard disk, CD-ROM drive) to run the UCST
(32-bit versions) software.
For your convenience and a reasonable performance, your desktop or laptop PC/computer should
meet the following additional requirements:

Page 80 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
UCST R8B © KEYMILE AG

• 256 Mbytes RAM min., 512 Mbytes strongly recommended


A small memory installed on the computer reduces the access times and hence the life of the
Hard Disk. This could result in the replacement (swapping) of the hard disk.
• Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device.
• SXGA colour screen system, min. resolution 1024 x 768 pixels.
• Additional memory requirements for UCST and unit software on hard disk drive:
80 Mbytes minimum, 100 Mbytes recommended.
• Serial interface RS-232 C (UMUX F- and Q1-interface, modems etc.)
Recommended options:
• Ethernet interface 10BaseT

5.1.3 Windows® XP Professional

The same requirements and recommendation apply as for running the UCST under the Windows®
2000 operating system.

5.1.4 Windows® Vista Enterprise (32-bit version)

The same requirements and recommendation apply as for running the UCST under the Windows®
2000 operating system.

5.1.5 Windows® Server 2003

The same requirements and recommendation apply as for running the UCST under the Windows®
2000 operating system.

The additional requirements quoted are not requirements to run Windows® 2000/ XP
Professional/Server 2003 but complementary requirements to run the UCST under
Windows® 2000/XP Professional/Server 2003.

Page 81 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
UCST R8B © KEYMILE AG

5.1.6 RS-232C interface

Recent PC/notebook hardware may have no physical RS-232C interface. With a USB to RS-232C
serial converter it is possible to physically implement the RS-232 C interface for the UMUX F- and
Q1-interfaces, modems etc. for these PC/notebooks.
A dedicated Engineering Bulletin (EN/LZTBU 880 148) is available which describes the installation
and commissioning of such devices for the application with the UCST. The EB includes a list of
recommended USB to RS-232C serial converters that have been successfully tested with Win-
dows® XP Professional and the UCST.

5.2 Installation of UCST service packs

The installation of the current Service Pack automatically updates the UCST with the contents of
the previously released Service Packs (if applicable). Thus, with your new Service Pack you do not
need any of the previously released Service Packs.
1. Login to your PC with administrator rights (if applicable).
2. Ensure that all running UCST programs and instances are closed.
3. Run UCST_R8B_SPxx.exe on the CD-ROM containing the UCST Service Pack software.
The Service Pack installation utility searches automatically for the appropriate UCST installation
and guides you through the Service Pack installation process.
The current service pack for UNEM R8B is SP02.

Please note that the upgrade procedure for customer specific UCST versions may dif-
fer from the above upgrade description.

6 Compatibility and upgrades

6.1 Support of legacy UMUX

The UMUX network element types


• UMUX 1300
• UMUX 1100
• UMUX 1100E
are basically supported with UMUX / UCST R8 and its service packs.
UNEM R8 under HP-UX still offers serial communication ports (RS232) and therefore supports all
existing management communication networks.
In contrast, UNEM R8 under LINUX does not support serial communication. Legacy UMUXs can
still be reached via terminal servers or via a gateway UMUX 1500 / 1200 / 900. Existing manage-
ment networks to legacy UMUXs may have to be modified.

• The new UCST can read configurations created with earlier UCST versions (UCST R3.3a/1 and
higher) if the configuration describes only units (the template number is not relevant) that are
still supported (this includes obsolete function units).
• If the configuration contains units that are not supported anymore with the new UCST, the con-
figuration cannot be read and failure is reported.
In such a case you must eliminate these units with the original UCST version and replace the
unit (if available) with a functional substitute that is supported by the new UCST.
KEYMILE strongly recommends upgrading obsolete units in legacy configurations with current pre-
ferred units.

6.2.2 Procedures

Before upgrading (UCST, embedded software, unit templates, configuration), it is of ultimate impor-
tance to save the configuration of all affected NEs using the existing (old) UCST. Although not
imperative in all cases of upgrades, this measure will prevent any possible loss of configuration
data.
To upgrade an existing configuration to a configuration with more recent templates and ESW pro-
ceed as follows:
• Install the new UCST on the PC (that you want to use to upgrade NEs)
• Upload the configuration from the NE
(refer to comments on compatibility of configurations above)
• Save configuration
(refer to comments above)
• Only if applicable: Replace hardware with compatible new unit(s)
• Deliver and install new ESW, corresponding to the unit to upgrade (download)
• Convert unit to the new template (download)
• Update the NE configuration if necessary (download)

Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG

Please note:
If you want to upgrade and the control unit is affected, the COBU<x> unit must be up-
graded in a first step before you upgrade the other units and functions.
In systems with redundant COBU<x> units, the ESW must also be installed in the redun-
dant unit (“update redundant unit”).
Because of enhanced function implementation in the new UCST, legacy configuration can loose
(depending on the upgrade step) particular configuration information when upgrading.
This applies in particular for
• Cross connections of the SDH ECCs via the SDH SOH (MS and RS path overhead)
(Flexible SOH byte use with the UCST R5B and higher)
• Cross connections of UBUS units with 1+1 protection
(Unified traffic protection for all units with the UCST R5A and higher)
• Special upgrade procedure for the PHLC3
If upgrades affect any of the above functions you must recreate the affected cross connections af-
ter the upgrade.

6.3 Control units

6.3.1 Support of units

To support all functions of the new UMUX / UCST release, the NEs must operate with R5 Control
Units running the latest COBUX ESW (If applicable you must upgrade your Control Units to R5
as described below).
Functions and units as follows require R5 templates and/or R5 ESW:
>= R5D ESW:
- ATM, NGN (IPSMG) functionality (R5 templates and ESW)
- Enhanced handling of configuration data (R5 templates and ESW)
- NEBRO, NEBRA Ethernet over SDH functionality (R5 ESW)
- NEBRE Ethernet switch (R5 ESW)
- SUBH subscriber line interfaces (R5 ESW)
- DATA<X> versatile data interface unit (R5 ESW)
>= R5E or more recent ESW:
- IPLM1/2/4 and IPLM6 IP DSLAM (R5 templates and ESW)
- SYNUF (R5 ESW)
>= R5H ESW:
- SYN4E (R5 ESW)
Please note that intermediate ESW for COBU<X> has also been released to correct func-
tional deficiencies. Accordingly, an unconditional update to R5 Control Units with the
most recent ESW is strongly recommended.

Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG

6.3.2 Upgrade process

To the upgrade of your control units in the UMUX NEs to R5 you should always use the current
UCST and the most recent released COBUX ESW version – currently the COBUX_R5H ESW.
Please note that the upgrade of control units is crucial. To upgrade proceed as follows:
• Install the new UCST on your PC/computer.
• Connect the EM to the NE that you want to upgrade.
• Load the NE configuration from the NE to the EM (upload).
• Save the configuration file (strongly recommended).
• Deliver the new COBU<X> R5H ESW. Do not remove old APDSW files from the NE!
• Configure the installation of the new ESW for the control unit.
• Download this configuration (e.g. via a partial download) to the NE.
• Check if the new COBUX ESW is running via the Inventory dialogue (the Software Installation
Status dialogue is only available with the COBU<X> R5).
• If the NE has a protecting COBU<X>,
Open the COBU<X> status dialogue (Board tab) and make sure, that the redundant control unit
is synchronised with the active control unit.
To achieve synchronism, you must press the button [Update Redundant Control Unit]. The up-
date can take a couple of minutes, depending on the number of ESW files that are stored in the
active COBU<X> MIB.
• Convert the templates of the control unit to the new R5 templates if required (via the NE Con-
figuration… → Convert Units… menu)
• Download the configuration with the new templates to the NE
(e.g. via a partial download).
The upgrade of control units is crucial
Never upgrade to a new COBU<X> R5 template unless you have checked that a COBUX
R5 ESW is active on master and slave unit!
Please note that it is
• not allowed to downgrade a NE (SW installation of COBUX ESW R1 … R4 is not ac-
cepted if COBUX R5 ESW (or higher) is running).
• no longer possible to manage a NE with UNEM/UCST R5<X> if its COBU<X> has
been upgraded to R5 (both COBUX ESW and COBU<X> template).

Page 88 of 129 Release Note UMUX & UCST R8B SP02 and related functions EN/LZTBU 980 415/512 RA
Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG

However, it is possible to upgrade the COBU<X> ESW to R5 and continue to manage


the COBU<X> R4 templates with the UNEM/UCST R5<X>.
The ATM and NGN functionalities have increased requirements on the capacity of the database
(MIB) of the COBU<X> control unit. The use of the COBU<X> with the 16 MBytes PC memory card
option is highly recommended. However, the 16 MBytes PC memory card option is not generally
required to operate the ATM core or NGN functions. Current COBU<X> units are delivered with 16
MBytes PC memory cards (8 Mbytes cards are no longer available).
Converting the control unit to R5 ESW is a good opportunity to upgrade the capacity of the local
PC memory card(s). For other aspects of PC memory card upgrades, refer also to «Support of PC
flash memory cards» on page 89.

6.4 Support of PC flash memory cards

The UMUX control units support different brands of PC memory cards. To this end, the control unit
is able to detect the type of the memory card and use the appropriate software driver.
The introduction of new PC memory card products requires an upgrade of the corresponding driv-
ers, which are provided with the APDSW software. The most recent APDSW_R1.C03 (introduced
with the UCST R4C) supports all the PC memory card products used with the UMUX control units.
Running COBUX ESW older than COBUX_R3.B32 is not possible with some of the currently used
PC memory card products. Trying to run such an ESW with these memory cards will create a soft-
ware installation error. To eliminate this failure, the control unit requires the upgrade of its ESW
and APDSW to remain compatible with all the PC memory card products:
• Delivery of the APDSW_R1.C03 to the NE.
• Delivery of the COBUX_R5.H02 ESW or a more recent ESW (but at least the COBUX_R3.B32
ESW) to the NE.
• Configuration of the new ESW installation for the control unit.
• Download of the new configuration, which activates the new ESW.
Please note that
• It is always preferable to run the most recent control unit ESW.
The COBUX_R5.F02 is currently the most recent ESW available.
• The COBU<X> is delivered with a 16 MBytes PC memory card (8 Mbytes cards are
no longer available).

6.5 New unit hardware

Over production time some of the components of the unit hardware are no longer available as
standard components and have been replaced by functionally compatible components and circuits.
Such a replacement provides new hardware for the affected units.
The new unit hardware implies a new hardware key and thus an adaptation of the ESW for com-
patibility with the new hardware (HW key). The new ESW is backward compatible. You can run the
new ESW on old unit hardware. However, it is not possible to run old ESW on the new unit hard-
ware. The new unit hardware imperatively requires the new ESW versions.
Refer to «Summary of units» on page 38 for the old and new compatible ESW and, if applicable,
for special entries («Ditto with new HW/ESW») concerning functions with new unit hardware.

6.6 IPSMG conversion

The units IPSMG 705 and 706 are handled as ABUS units, while the IPSMG 707 is an SBUS unit.
• Adding of an IPSMG 707 to a bus sector with an already equipped IPSMG 705 or 706, is not
possible. The equipped IPSMG 705 or 706 units must first be converted to IPSMG 707 units.
• It is not possible to add an IPSMG 707 unit to a bus sector that already contains ABUS units. If
available, use the second bus sector of the subrack to add the IPSMG 707.

6.7 NE traffic
The standard upgrade procedure can disturb the NE traffic. However, if the upgrade requires the
restart of the COBU<X>, the (UBUS) traffic is shortly interrupted. Upgrades with loss of cross con-
nections create interruptions for the traffic signals.

6.8 Ordering of units

6.8.1 Ordering process

To order UMUX units proceed as follows:


Specify the generic name of the unit that you want to order and the corresponding unit name
and the Keymile ordering code.
Examples are
− COBUX-FU: A24A3651
− LOMIF-FU: A24A3323
− SYN4E-FU: A31A5296
− etc.
Upon this order, you will receive the ordered unit hardware and a CD-ROM which contains the
complete collection of the most recent unit software (Embedded Software ESW).
The unit hardware together with compatible unit software (ESW) and your UCST unit template
(configuration file) will create the required function unit.
For refer to «Summary of units» on page 38 in this release note or in previous release notes if re-
quired.

6.8.2 Background information

The UCST unit template (e.g. COBUX 212) is specific for the features and functions of a function
unit as described in the UMUX customer documentation (e.g. «UMUX Technical Descriptions Units
COBUX 219, 223, 212, 213 & COBUV 220, 224, 217, 218»).
Such a function unit is introduced with a particular UCST & UNEM release and is supported by
subsequent releases of the management software for as long as required. Typically, a function unit
is no longer supported when an updated function unit (with a new UCST unit template) with en-
hanced features and functions is introduced.
Each new release of an ESW supports all earlier UCST unit templates, provided that it is compati-
ble with the unit hardware. Such an incompatibility is only possible if a new modified hardware ver-
sion for the function unit replaces previous hardware and this new hardware is more recent than
the locally available ESW (Please note that ESW delivered with the unit hardware is always com-
patible with this hardware).

Compatibility and upgrades © KEYMILE AG

For registered customers, the most recent ESW is also available for download from KEYMILE's Ex-
tranet.
Example:
Assumption: You operate the COBUX 145 in the NEs of your UMUX network.
The COBUX 145 has been initially introduced with the
− UCST & UNEM R4C
− COBUX R3D ESW
To order a new compatible COBUX for your NEs, just specify the generic function unit
«COBUX-FU» with the KM ordering code A24A3651.
With this, you will receive the COBUX hardware (unit) and the most recent COBUX ESW.
The configuration of your NE with the COBUX 145 template and any COBUX ESW equal to or
newer than COBUX R3D will create the COBUX 145 functionality in your NE.

8 Limitations

8.1 Overview

This chapter describes known limitations and deviations from specified system behaviour of the
UMUX/UCST R8B SP02 release. In this document both types are handled under the term «limita-
tions».
A limitation can have temporary or permanent significance:
• Temporary
Limitations are temporary if it is it is possible to fix them. Typically this type of limitation is due to
deficiencies of the system implementation.
For temporary limitations, a release is specified which clears the limitation. Depending on the
impact of the deficiency and its correction, it is not always possible to precisely schedule such a
release.
• Permanent
Limitations are permanent if it is not (reasonably) possible to fix them. Typically this type of limi-
tation is inherent to the system implementation or given by the chip sets used.
If available, KEYMILE provides a workaround to eliminate or reduce the impact of a limitation.
